Are you feeling like you’re at your wits end? Can’t stop fantasizing about going out for steak? Can’t stop tasting your favourite coffee in your head? Can’t stop wondering when you’ll see the ducks at the park? Can you already feel yourself running out the door?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The current lockdown is making people anxious, depressed and generally stressed out. This is a strange time for many of us. But staying at home is non negotiable at this point. The best thing to do is to focus on how you can make the most of this time, and stay both physically and mentally healthy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interact with people <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The one thing that people need to understand is that you’re basically physically distancing yourself from people. We don’t know who decided to call it ‘social’ distancing, because you can still be social through digital tools. You’ve been glued to your phone for ages now, sending memes to everyone you know. Why stop now? Schedule video calls with people, make\/join groups of activities you like doing. Don’t let the isolation get to you! The internet is your friend – use it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stay active <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nothing will bring you down like a lack of physical activity. There are thousands of online classes you can take to keep yourself in shape. Can’t find a class you like? Make one of your own with your friends or colleagues! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
